Dam Store and entrance to BigT hwy34. Most of the road looks like this in Winter...shady. Not fun with mag chloride, gravel and ice patches here and there, because the sun doesn't see the road again until late Spring. So, it was an easy beginning to my long lunch ride.

Lily Lake

Yep, that's ice on the lake.
I saw a guy on a red and black gixxer (I think) with all black leathers going in the opposite direction I was going on hwy7 at Lily Lake. Saw him again at the bottom of hwy7 as I was coming down and he was going back up after coming down hwy36. I think he was doing a circuit today. Fun stuff.

Musta been a 1337 road crew that painted that on the road. Nothing like laughing all the way home...lol
One last thing...yep, I rode down hwy7. Damn fricken fun, too. I had someone tagging along before we got to the down portion of 7, though. It's one thing to have a complete stranger follow you through the twisties, but then it's another thing entirely to all of a sudden not see his light as you come out of bottom narrows. He was there, but I guess he decided to pull off. Not sure if I was going too slow, cuz I was wearing my jeans today, or maybe he was doing the circuit like the guy on the red and black gixxer. Only reason I did not go back to check on him was because other vehicles were in the area. That and then I woulda been the creepy one coming back to check on him if he hadn't lost it.
Anyhoo, nice ride...again...
